«Me-ti said: it is advantageous, not merely to think according to the great Method but to live according to the great Method as well. Not to be identical with oneself, to embrace and intensify crises, to turn small changes into great ones and so forth – one need not only observe such phenomena, one can also act them out. One can live with greater or fewer mediations, in more numerous or less numerous relationships. One can aim at or strive for a more durable transformation of one’s consciousness by modifying one’s social being. One can help to make the institutions of the state more contradictory and thereby more capable of development.»
Bertolt Brecht
Lógica del sentido de 1968, el desequilibrio entre los desarrollos técnicos que genera una sociedad y las leyes y reglas que la conforman hace posible las revoluciones. La paradoja que vive Robinson Crusoe a solas en su isla explica esta falta de equilibrio. El naufrago, nos dice Deleuze,
«no puede reconstruir un análogo de sociedad si no es dándose de una vez todas las reglas y leyes que se implican recíprocamente, aun cuando todavía éstas no tengan objetos (…) [,por el contrario,] su conquista de la naturaleza (…) se hace progresivamente, de fuente en fuente de energía, de objeto en objeto.»
equilibrium and by processes of reciprocal determination where each reciprocating side determines the other, but only as something in movement, resistant to identity and disruptive of any settled structure, for example of knowledge.
(…)
This necessary reciprocal determination between an essentially excessive series and an essentially lacking one allows Deleuze to make the following political statement:
«It is this disequilibrium that makes revolutions possible. It is not at all the case that revolutions are determined by technical progress. Rather, they are made possible by this gap between the two series, which solicits realignment of the economic and political totality in relation to the parts of the technical progress.» (LoS, 49, 64)
“In 2009, a Russian neuroscience student named Aleksandra Elbakyan started a master’s thesis on biometric scanning at Kazakhstan University. Like many students and academics outside U.S. and European universities, Elbakyan had little access to research on her topic: her university didn’t subscribe to the international databases that contain most of the world’s scientific articles. Like many scholars in similar positions, she relied on material shared by colleagues based at or visiting universities that do provide access. Finding articles under such circumstances was haphazard and slow. For the most part, Elbakyan obtained them through personal contacts or professional networks that tried to match individual requests for articles with copies.
«En este cuadro de boxeos interminables,
en esta tienda de seres humanos desechables.
En el resumen de arquetipos conjugados,
de tiempos duros estallando en todos lados.
A veces siento que sea cae esa coraza
que me mantiene seguro
de moverme en todos lados
y entonces pienso que,
he corrido con algo de suerte.
En estas páginas dibujadas
por la muerte».

“I would suggest that we take our cue from Deleuze and Guattari’s reading of Woolf and Lawrence in A Thousand Plateaus in order to open a modernism of inhuman time—not a modernism of either stream of consciousness or stream of text (Deleuze and Guattari 2004, 278). This atavistic modernism might in turn allow for a re-reading of other modernists and post-modernism. Rather than posit something like tracing, marking, writing, text, differance or the word that would disperse and fragment any supposed grounding life, Bergson makes a direct claim about life as that which creates difference. Life is neither psyche, nor organism, and certainly not an inchoate chaos that is repressed by the order of psychic and organic wholes; life is an organizing power that operates in part by reducing the proliferation of intensive difference to allow for ongoing selfsame wholes, but life operates also by creating complexities and relations that cannot be contained by the human logic of organic efficiency. A modernism that followed this positively destructive atavism of intuition would not look beyond man to some higher human promise, but would allow the human to be invaded by the forces of the cosmos that he has all too efficiently silenced.”

book-streaming), la tarifa plana, el formato come todo lo que puedas de acceso a los libros se encuentra únicamente disponible en los audiolibros, pero raramente en los e-books. Me pregunto por qué. ¿Han notado que no hay demandas grandes por piratería de libros?
Por supuesto está la demanda contra Sci-Hub y Library Genesis en Nueva York, y hay otra en Canada en contra de aaaaarg, que es un problema mayúsculo para aquellos que han sido nombrados en estos casos. Pero esto es casi insignificante comparado a las guerras de alto perfil que la industria de la música y la industria audiovisual libro en contra de Napster, Grokster, Kazaa, megaupload y otras similares. Es como si los editores de libros se hubieran dado por vencido en intentar luchar contra la piratería en las cortes, y hubieran lanzado unas cuantas demandas únicamente para mantener la apariencia de que aún les importan los derechos de autor en el espacio digital. Me pregunto por qué.
«Book-streaming, the flat-rate, the all-you-can-eat format of accessing books is at the moment only available to audiobooks, but rarely for e-books. I wonder why.
Did you notice that there are no major book piracy lawsuits?
Of course there is the lawsuit against Sci-Hub and Library Genesis in New York, and there is another one in Canada against aaaaarg, causing major nuisance to those who have been named in these cases. But this is almost negligible compared to the high profile wars the music and audiovisual industries waged against Napster, Grokster, Kazaa, megaupload and their likes. It is as if book publishers have completely given up on trying to fight piracy in the courts, and have launched a few lawsuits only to maintain the appearance that they still care about their digital copyrights. I wonder why.
I know the academic publishing industry slightly better than the mainstream popular fiction market, and I have the feeling that in the former copyright-based business models are slowly being replaced by something else. We see no major anti-piracy efforts from publishers, not because piracy is non-existent — on the contrary, it is global, and it is big — but because the publishers most probably realized that in the long run the copyright-based exclusivity model is unsustainable. The copyright wars of the last two decades taught them that law cannot put an end to piracy. As the Sci-Hub case demonstrates, you can win all you want in a New York court, but this has little real-world effect as long as the conditions that attract the users to the shadow libraries remain.
Exclusivity-based publishing business models are under assault from other sides as well. Mandated open access in the US and in the EU means that there is a quickly growing body of new research for the access of which publishers cannot charge money anymore. LibGen and Sci-Hub make it harder to charge for the back catalogue. Their sheer existence teaches millions on what uncurtailed open access really is, and makes it easier for university libraries to negotiate with publishers, as they don’t have to worry about their patrons being left without any access at all.
The good news is that radical open access may well be happening. It is a less and less radical idea to have things freely accessible. One has to be less and less radical to achieve the openness that has been long overdue. Maybe it is not yet obvious today and the victory is not yet universal, maybe it’ll take some extra years, maybe it won’t ever be evenly distributed, but it is obvious that this genie, these millions of books on everything from malaria treatments to critical theory, cannot be erased, and open access will not be undone, and the future will be free of access barriers.»
